Grace & Gratitude for Everyday Life

How can you give thanks when life gets difficult? In Grace & Gratitude for Everyday Life, Michele Howe, helps you give thanks in all circumstances.

Scriptural Support and Personal Stories

In 30 short chapters, this book will help change your heart. With insight from Scripture and support with personal stories, Howe writes hopefully. It is clear that she has learned these lessons herself, and is eager to share them others.

What Howe does exceptionally well is take Biblical principles and bring them to your everyday life. For instance, I know we are supposed to take every thought captive. But when Howe wrote that we need to grow a grateful heart one though at a time, it gave me a new perspective. This is how change occurs, and this is how we can overcome our natural tendency to complain.

Remain Steadfast

I was most surprised at how many opportunities we have to practice grace and gratitude. Whether at home, the workplace, church, or in our neighborhoods -- we have many places to give praise to God. Ultimately, this work of giving outward praise to God is an overflow of the change that happens in our hearts. Howe shows us how it changes how we speak and live, but also how we view our time and how we interpret the world.

Each chapter ends with take-away action thoughts, personal prayers, and three specific ways to practice grace and gratitude. We can learn to be content in every circumstance. We don’t have to grumble or complain. As our paths twist and turn and as the world changes around us, Christians can remain steadfast with grace and gratitude.
